It s really fresh, the installations look beautiful, the museum is more open than ever, said Standish.
‘Atmospheres Deep’ exhibition to explore humans’ connection to the ocean
–Marking San Luis Obispo Museum of Art’s (SLOMA) first public show since the beginning of the pandemic, Atmospheres Deep will premiere for the public at the end of May. This multimedia group exhibition examines coastal regions above and below the ocean’s surface to emulate these atmospheres and uncover human impact on the ocean. The artworks selected for Atmospheres Deep present the feeling of increasing atmospheric pressure experienced during ocean exploration. Atmospheres Deep begins Saturday, May 29, and runs through Sunday, Aug. 1. Reflected in the reopening, the museum also announces new hours of 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. from Thursday – Monday each week.
The San Luis Obispo Museum of Art (SLOMA) presents Atmospheres Deep, a new group show co-organized by SUPERCOLLIDER, a Los Angeles-based gallery known for curating immersive exhibits that celebrate both science and art. This multimedia exhibition premieres on Saturday, May 29, and is scheduled to remain on display through Sunday, Aug. 1. Richelle Gribble and Emma Akmakdjian served as guest curators for this exhibit, described as an examination of coastal regions above and below the ocean s surface. Through a collection of diverse artworks, the goal of this show is to emulate the feeling of increasing atmospheric pressure during oceanic exploration, while also drawing metaphorical parallels to the psychological pressure we experience in reaction to an impending ecological tipping point for oceans, leading to irreversible loss of the overall health of marine ecosystems, according to press materials.
